Build a complete standalone web server for Immich album change
notifications, independent of Home Assistant. Uses the shared
core library from Phase 1.
Server features:
- FastAPI with async SQLite (SQLModel + aiosqlite)
- Multi-user auth with JWT (admin/user roles, setup wizard)
- CRUD APIs: Immich servers, album trackers, message templates,
notification targets (Telegram + webhook), user management
- APScheduler background polling per tracker
- Jinja2 template rendering with live preview
- Album browser proxied from Immich API
- Event logging and dashboard status endpoint
- Docker deployment (single container, SQLite in volume)
39 API routes, 14 integration tests passing.
Also adds Phase 6 (Claude AI Telegram bot enhancement) to the
primary plan as an optional future phase.

Extract HA-independent logic from the integration into packages/core/
as a standalone Python library (immich-watcher-core). This is the first
phase of restructuring the project to support a standalone web app
alongside the existing HAOS integration.
Core library modules:
- models: SharedLinkInfo, AssetInfo, AlbumData, AlbumChange dataclasses
- immich_client: Async Immich API client (aiohttp, session-injected)
- change_detector: Pure function for album change detection
- asset_utils: Filtering, sorting, URL building utilities
- telegram/client: Full Telegram Bot API (text, photo, video, media groups)
- telegram/cache: File ID cache with pluggable storage backend
- telegram/media: Media size checks, URL extraction, group splitting
- notifications/queue: Persistent notification queue
- storage: StorageBackend protocol + JSON file implementation
All modules have zero Home Assistant imports. 50 unit tests passing.
